The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Toledo invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in shallow-earth, high-resolution geophysics with an expected start date of August 19, 2019. This position is connected to a designated strategic focus of the university. We seek an individual whose research is related to shallow earth geophysics focusing on environmental geology and hydrogeology, and who is expected to collaborate with department researchers investigating nutrient transport through large watersheds into Lake Erie and other large-scale systems. The department has a broad selection of geophysical equipment and recently renovated laboratory space. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an active, independent, externally-funded research program that involves both undergraduate and graduate students. Excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level is also expected, and over time the candidate will be expected to teach courses on geophysics, mapping and structural geology, Geologic Hazards and introductory geology.

A Ph.D. in geophysics, geology, earth sciences or a closely related field is required. Postdoctoral or equivalent experience is strongly preferred. This is an entry level, tenure-track Assistant Professor position involving a standard teaching-research-service workload. For information required for applications, contact Dr. Jamie Martin-Hayden at james.martin-hayden@utoledo.edu Review of applications will begin on January 8, 2019 and the position will remain open until filled.
